Brittany DiNatale, RN, BSN
has been an Emergency Room Nurse in the DC Metro area since 2012. She left her position as Vice President of Marketing and Business Development for a tech startup to go into nursing. While it was a big change, there are no regrets. Britt now uses her skills in marketing and business development to amplify and engage the voice of nurses in healthcare improvement efforts.
Nurses are the largest segment of the healthcare workforce, on the frontlines of healthcare delivery and consistently voted the most trusted profession. Yet, the Woodhull Study, both in 1998 and again in 2018, showed that nurses are essentially absent from the conversation in the media about healthcare. This needs to change.
Nurses are diverse highly skilled professionals who work in increasingly dangerous environments in order to assist their fellow humans, often in their greatest time of need. Their stories, wisdom and unique insights are an invaluable asset in finding a way forward to a better state of healthcare.
RN in DC advocates for their voices to be heard, and for the basic needs and rights of nurses to be able to work in a safe environment in which they can effectively do their job, working to their fullest potential and to the height of their practice.
